SAN ANTONIO — Loosen your belts, Alamo City residents, and get ready for another round of public shaming from Charles Barkley: San Antonio is fat — still.

Figures recently released by Gallup show that San Antonio has the second-highest obesity rate among major U.S. cities.

The survey shows more than 31 percent of San Antonians are obese, only a little less than a percentage point behind Memphis for the worst in the country among communities with more than a million people. The average obesity rate for the more than 50 metropolitan areas is nearly 26 percent.

The city of San Antonio announced in August that the obesity rate fell from 35.1 percent to 28.5 percent between 2010 and 2012.

Houston is the 13th fattest large city with an obesity rate of 27.9 percent, but has the highest uninsured rate, 28.8 percent, of cities with more than 1 million people, according to Gallup. Dallas-Fort Worth is the 14th fattest city.

As far as all cities, regardless of population, the metropolitan area of McAllen-Edinburg-Mission has the second-highest obesity rate in the country at 38.3 percent, as well as the highest uninsured rate at 51.2 percent.

El Paso has the second-highest uninsured rate at 34.5 percent. Eight of the 27 cities with the highest uninsured rates are in Texas.

The city with the highest percentage of smokers in the country is Charleston, W.Va., where more than 1-in-3 adults smoke. In Texas, the Killeen-Waco metro area has the highest with 29.5 percent of adults being regular smokers, which is fifth in the country.

Gallup polled more than 500,000 adults throughout the country during 2013 to compile the statistics, which also include frequency of exercising, produce-eating, percentage of smokers and uninsured.
